Okay, my confession and now 'issue' is that since M&M were about 4 months old I've been putting them to bed with a milk bottle. Matter of fact, the only time they get a bottle is when they go to bed. (4 X's a day)
It has been AWESOME!! The first 3 1/2 months was exhausting for me with the babies tag teaming their fits, but once they could hold a bottle, I could hand them one, lay them down and they would suck it down and pass out. NO LIE!
I hate to give it up but started to give them 1oz juice with 7oz of water so that the milk wasn't sitting on their teeth all night, but now they want 2 bottles at night. I guess instead of pacifiers they have their bottles. *sigh*
We're transitioning them to sippy cups and showing them how to hold them up while sitting up and though the progress is slow it seems to be working well for Mercy. Marshall on the other hand still wants to roll back on his back and drink. He reminds me of a bear when he uses his feet to help tilt the bottle/cup up. (He even does this when playing with toys.) ;)
I'm not really all that worried, I know we'll transition them soon enough, but man what a blessing 5, 6 even 7 hours of sleep have been. Sure hope the transition goes smoother then I anticipate. :( ]]> True Mom Confessions ChristineCMoore http://abilenemoms.com/data/assets/boards/abilenemoms/showthread.php?t=5927 http://abilenemoms.com/data/assets/boards/abilenemoms/showthread.php?t=5918&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:27:34 GMT It's Finally Friday!

Big blow that I may not be able to have my hip surgery next week due to Tricare being ridiculous!

Not every day, but every other day or so he gets really emotional. It is breaking my heart. :( I am just second guessing our decision for sending him to Pre-K every day. Is anyone else's child having a hard time?

I was curious how many of y'all use body shaping garments and do you like them? ]]> True Mom Confessions ChristineCMoore http://abilenemoms.com/data/assets/boards/abilenemoms/showthread.php?t=5845 http://abilenemoms.com/data/assets/boards/abilenemoms/showthread.php?t=5823&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Aug 2010 01:45:11 GMT you found out that you were pregnant today??
